Shraddha Kapoor lost her balance while riding a bike during the shoot of Mohit Suri’s Ek Villain recently.

The biker girl’s bike went out of control while filming an important sequence and slumped on the road.

Says a source, “In the scene that was being shot, Shraddha was meant to overtake Sidharth (Malhotra) who was also on a bike. She accelerated too much and the bike sprawled. She was badly bruised on her elbows and knees but the helmet saved her.”

Shooting was delayed for an hour as doctors attended to Shraddha but the professional that she is, she decided to not cancel the shoot, which is now in its final leg.

The casting of Mohit Suri’s provisionally titled THE VILLAIN is getting increasingly hot and interesting.

Adding to the excitement of the first-time pairing of heart throbs Sidharth Malhotra and Shraddha Kapoor, Balaji announced Riteish Deshmukh in a pivotal role, further notching up the film’s star power.

While much of the remaining cast is being kept under wraps, it is confirmed now that Kamaal R. Khan has been signed to play an extended cameo in the film, which is currently under production in Mumbai.

It is believed that Khan has already shot for two days.

“His role is hysterical,” says a source. “He is both hilarious and diabolical.”

There is no doubt that THE VILLAIN is easily among the most keenly anticipated films of 2014.

Shraddha Kapoor is learning how to ride a bike for Mohit Suri’s provisionally titled The Villain. The film stars heart throb Sidharth Malhotra and goes on floor next week in Mumbai.

Sidharth and Shraddha have been paired opposite each other for the first time in this Balaji-produced romantic thriller.

Her trainer swears that Shraddha was a quick learner and took to the bike as a fish takes to water. In fact Shraddha is even contemplating buying a bike given her enthralling experience.

Looks like B-town’s biker boys have some competition!
